Dude I don't know how to leave my 9-block radius around Rittenhouse; I am not the person who will suggest venturing farther out.

I hear that. Anything east beyond, say, Good Dog, is like visiting the Orient. I called my personal driver (my one friend with a car) and went to Ikea yesterday. It was like a daytrip. I feel like I should have sent postcards or something.

But there are spots in the city in which to potluck, right? Like, a patch of grass here and there...

May I be so inclined to propose a Cantina Dos Segundos meetup, let's just say last week of June? Also, if they have any happy hour specials that might offer discounted margaritas, can we take advantage of those? Just putting it out there. Philadelphegan, I hope you come out. Let's get nerdy and talk drexel's msis program.

I'm down for that. I badmouth the school a lot, but that's actually something of a strength I think, so I won't come off old and curmudgeonly, just old. And for now, my calendar is open that week.

Ohh badmouthing is okay, I did my undergrad there and graduated 3 years ago. I really enjoyed it for the most part, I had some pretty decent professors. But I have heard that all my favorites are no longer there, which is a slight bummer.

Anywaay, due to the nice weather, I think I take back my vote for cantina and place it in the potlock in the park hat. Rittenhouse or Clark Park, which just re-opened yesterday, are both easily accessible. Rittenhouse would fit in you twos 9 block radius rule.

as a graduate from a landscape architecture program in philadelphia, i am rather embarrassed that i've never been to laurel hill. i've driven past it many times, but never actually went in and you know, observed the design and whatnot.
